" Broken Promises "

⚠️ a work of fiction. This story is inspired by the song dadalhin by no other than Regine Velasquez!⚠️

Regine's POV
Love is a very harmful thing to play with. It is dangerous to drown yourself in that so called love but I'm willing to try. When I was young I was ambitious. I wanted to have everything that I didn't have.

I wanted to be at the top. I wanted my life to be something worth living. I had these out of this world goals and plans to the point where marriage doesn't cross my mind.

But when I met him parang nawala lahat ng Yun. Nawala lahat ng plans ko and I became humble and contented. Noon hindi ako mapakali pag wala akong nagawa. If my day isn't productive I couldn't sleep.

Pero ngayon hindi parin ako makatulog. Sa kakaisip sa kanya. Ngayon kahit humilata ako buong araw okay lang. Basta't kasama ko sya.

I never thought that I would change this much just because of a somebody in my life.

But he's not just a somebody in my life after all.

He is my life.

I looked at the person beside me sleeping peacefully.

" Good morning. " He said in a course voice.

" Morning. " I said as I was still admiring the view.

" I'll cook breakfast na baba. " Sabi ko.

" Yes please. " Sabi niya and I gave him a kiss before getting up.

The day went by quickly.

Ganon talaga siguro pag masaya ka.

Pag kasama mo ang mahal mo.

Noon I would have done a lot of proposals, projects and other workloads at the end of the day and still hindi ako makokontento.

But now, just being close to him makes me feel happy and contented.

Parang, kahit wala ako ng lahat ng yun. Basta't akin sya okay na ako.

Kakatapos ko lang magbihis dahil may pupuntahan daw kami.

I just wore a summer dress nasa beach naman kami eh.

I looked around the house pero hindi ko siya mahanap.

I went out at parang may maliwanag na something sa dalampasigan kaya nilapitan ko iyun.

And there I saw my man holding a bouquet of flowers.

Ano to mahal?

You keep making me fall in love with you even more.

" Good evening mahal. " He said and approached me.

He gave me the bouquet and kissed my cheeks.

" What's this hon? " Sabi ko. Looking at the romantic dinner table and the set up.

Is this it?

" Mahal, when you came into my life I was broken. I was a reject, hated myself. And yet when you found me you fixed me. Took care of me like a fragile gem worth taken care of. You made me feel special kahit na basag na ako. And with that I promise to love you until the end. I'll go to the ends of the world para lang makita ang isang katulad mo. My Queen, kung hahayaan mo ako'y dadalhin kita sa aking palasyo. My Queen, will you let me be your king? " Sabi niya at inilabas ang isang diamond ring.

" Yes. My king. " Sabi ko at hinalikan siya.

He didn't react like others would. He didn't jump with joy but I can see it in his eyes. Masaya siya.

6 months passed and he became distant to me.

Cold.

Tinatanong ko siya pero sabi niya okay lang daw siya.

The day of the wedding came. I am in front of the altar with the love of my life.

" Kung sino man ang tumututol sa pag-iisa ng dalawang ito ay ipagpaalam mo na. " Sabi ng Pari.

And shock was evident in my face when,

He raised his hand.

" I object father. "

Napatingin ang lahat ng guest sa kanya.

" Hon! " Tawag ko sa pansin niya.

" I'm sorry regine. But I realized I don't really love you. Akala ko mahal kita but I was wrong. Mahal lang kita dahil binuo mo ako. Dahil ikaw ang nasa tabi ko. Utang na loob lang pala yun. When you fixed me parang naging responsibility ko nang alagaan ka. I felt responsible but now I realized that mas masasaktan ka kung ikakasal ka sakin. I don't love you. And I'm sorry for waiting months at pinaabot ko pa talaga sa kasalan. I thought I could love you. But I can't. I'm sorry. " Sabi niya.

And there he left me crying at the altar.

Nabitawan ko ang bulaklak na nasa kamay ko at tinanaw siya.

I watched the love of my life walk away from me in front of everyone.

And there I was broken.

I fixed him and he broke me.

Sabi niya dadalhin niya ako sa palasyo.

Ngunit dadalhin lang pala ng hangin ang pangarap kong.

Siya at ako.
